My Go-To Meals for Weight Loss on the Starch Solution

[@susanh1447]

I know why you’re wearing jeans that you have to keep pulling up for this video! Anyway, I stumbled across you looking just like me 20 years ago. Same hair, same clothing. I’ve gained 50# in the last several years and tried every diet you can name to no avail. I decided NOT to diet again but to eat what you and your family are eating. I lost SEVEN pounds this week! I had to keep stepping on and off the scale, then tried the scales in a different bathroom. Yep…seven pounds. I’m also walking on my treadmill and lifting some weights so I’m feeling great. I plan to finish all of your videos and then check out your website. So excited to find something that is finally working!

[@HealthyEmmie]

I am so happy to hear this! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰💕

[@sherrylenser]

I love your simple honesty and your simple meals. Who wants to be overwhelmed when you are trying to loose weight right ! I don’t ! 😃 Thank you so much for sharing with us all . ❤️

[@jen-freedom-and-peace]

A tip I got for oatmeal is adding the banana slices while your oats are cooking - I do cook them on the stove though - it takes just 7 minutes - but when you cook the banana slices they just get caramelized and soft and melt into the oatmeal. Thanks the only way I do it now.

[@silablyford6046]

I love how you keep making plant base meals simple and real. You go girl!!

[@jeanne553]

If you buy flaxseeds pre-ground, keep it in the freezer. Keeps it from going rancid.

[@nomad7540]

Love this! Hope you do more of these. I love that you don't have to have everything triple filtered and organic and super foodie. I have been following the starch solution and my grocery bill is down.......along with my waist size!!

[@HealthyEmmie]

Definitely!! 💕😊

[@cindystrother7710]

Love that you use prepackaged food's HELPS PEOPLE like me WHO CANNOT COOK THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@jenniferolson5345]

🌮 I appreciate that your meals are simple because it is accessible to everyone. If someone wants to get fancy with the spices (a Ratatouille reference 🤩) then they can. The more I watch these videos the more I want to incorporate this style of eating into my life.

[@ktaylor6767]

I love how simple you eat ! Do more of these please

[@patriciastone6389]

Tacos ! Love these super easy recipes ! I’m 73 and have been cooking for a long time BUT I have to say your quick and easy approach is refreshing to watch ,and so smart ! I’m wondering if you are keeping your ground flax in the refrigerator,I’ve read that it is important to do. I can’t remember the exact reason so you might need to research it. Thanks again for a super fun video 💕

[@gina_dee.1111]

To keep it from going rancid.

[@cherylkaye]

Love what you had to say about oats. I have found I love doing a 50/50 mix of instant and wholegrain oats. The texture is best for me, and I can do them savoury or sweet.......plus they cook in 5 mins ish. I love adding mashed banana to sweet porridge, that way I don't tend to need to add any additional sweetener, because I don't have too sweet of a tooth. Loved this video. 💜

[@mommaz820]

I cook my steel cut oats in my Instant Pot and then put them in an 11x13 dish and cut into 8 servings. Then in the morning, I add them to my banana, blueberries and cinnamon and micro for 60 seconds. 2 cups steel cut oats, 5 cups water, 4 minutes IP, natural pressure release. Also, sprouts are a really good thing to curb hunger. Ones that your grow yourself for pennies...local, organic, sustainable, so easy!!

[@marlenabenson]

Thank you for this! I noticed that when I eat rolled oats I get an upset stomach, but steel cut oats are fine. This is very useful info, will save me a lot of cooking time each day!! 🙏

[@mommaz820]

@@marlenabenson you are welcome!! I love that I only have to clean the oats pot a couple times per week, as both my hubby and I eat them everyday for breakfast.

[@HealthyEmmie]

Thanks for sharing!

[@suzyq6767]

Thanks for another good video. You are absolutely right; canned veg and beans are just fine. I use them. However, instant pot beans take barely more effort for 100X more flavor. My outlook is different after raising a big family on a tiny budget. Canned beans were out of reach with my budget, but dry beans were not. I always enjoyed cooking but also learned a different mindset about work in general. I learned to love what must be done. Now, I don't only enjoy cooking, but I also relish the time spent creating amazing, health-giving, plant-exclusive food. Anyway, thanks again for another interesting and fun video--with Tacos no less. I love your funny sense of humor. Ya, my pants don't stay up either. Tiny veggie girls, unite!!

[@brandyowens4434]

My husband can always tell when I use canned beans versus ones I cooked in my crockpot and froze. He says they taste more fresh. I use both though.

[@CharGC123]

I am so with ya! I resisted getting an IP for so long, it just seemed like another appliance to find a place for in a small kitchen. Now it has become my kitchen, I use it multiple times daily! So great for batch cooking beans and grains and saves a ton of cash! No matter how pressed for time, you can take a few minutes to just dump in whatever veggies, herbs, spices, rice, pasta, whatever, add some broth, and go about your business! It will cook it and keep it warm until you're ready to eat and every batch is a new adventure! For me it isn't the speed but the hands-off freedom. I don't mind preparing meals, but I hate all the fussy steps and being chained to the stove!

[@TJ-gi3jo]

Tacos! The simplicity of this is going to be what determines the success of it for me. Thank you, Emmie, for keeping it real and SIMPLE! I normally overcomplicate things until I just don't even start, or manage a week or 2 and go out like a 🎇sparkler. 💖

[@HealthyEmmie]

You're very much welcome! 💕😊

[@Stephanie-mh4ee]

I couldn’t figure out what was different about you lately in the last few videos.. but it’s a hair cut! It looks so good you’re hair looks insanely thick with those layers 👌 looks great girl. Great video too

[@HealthyEmmie]

Yesss I chopped it!! I hadn’t gotten a haircut in 3 years! 😂😂😂 thanks for noticing! I’m loving the layers and curtain bangs ❤️

[@Stephanie-mh4ee]

And it’s still long and beautiful!!

[@HealthyEmmie]

@@Stephanie-mh4ee thank you Steph ❤️🥰

[@missy3240]

🌮 Tacos! … Brussel sprouts are called “Rosen Kohl” in German. It translates to “Rose Cabbages”… which I think is the cutest thing ever (I also love them!) 🌹 🥬

[@tracypodaima3974]

When bananas are ripe, peel them and freeze them on a tray, then put them in a bag and you can just grab them out of the freezer. Love how simple you make things.

[@yosefweisberg7085]

Tracy that’s what I do already it’s brilliant

[@shellivester1037]

Taco! Your simplicity is unmatched, love it! 🤍

[@kathleennorth7257]

Emmie...but there is a difference between instant and rolled or whole groats or steelcut on impact. See Greger. Talks about insulin response.

[@gwenthomson7977]

Love, love, love your natural persona on here. I am going to binge watch all series after work (hard to stop during work, though, lol)!

[@brendasullivan4095]

I love this one soooooooo much feel free to do another!! It's funny you put out a video today . I ha e been watching all your videos today, I have been a fan from the start long ago 🥰 I'm a fellow new englander,love the healthier mummie and healthy dad and ALL your great videos just wanted to say than you for all you do❤

[@monika.71]

TACOS! I am impressed that the meals are so simple. I love simple but I worry it is too simple for my husband. Ive been WFPB since mid Dec and him mid Jan this year. He doesn't need to lose weight but I do.....and i am really getting tired of allllllllllll the prep and cutting and dicing and stuff just to make our meals!

[@vickyhamilton2039]

TACOS! I love to air fry my corn tortillas because I'm a crunch girl! Love the simple meal eating. Focusing on the health and not the food itself!

[@tinabonner6286]

TACOS! I love how you use ingredients that everyone has. Thank you!

[@HealthyEmmie]

You are so welcome!

[@joannapatterson4625]

Oats and potatoes, brussels sprouts, cauliflower are my daily staples. I never get tired of them.

[@anydae]

I usually add the rolled oats and add boiling water to it and add the mix-ins like dates or banana or cranberry and let it soak - when it's cooled I'll go on and eat it. It thickens while it's cooling

[@maureeninman3971]

You do THE BEST videos!! Thank You for being so personable❤

[@HealthyEmmie]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 🤗💕

[@suerogers7409]

I adore the simplicity ❤️❤️❤️

[@megb9642]

tacos. im so glad that i just found your channel i think your great and i'll definitely be trying out these meals

[@sheilawest8386]

I add ground flaxseed and ground chia seeds to my oatmeal before I cook it with almond milk am I still getting the nutritional benefits this way or should both falx and chia be put on oatmeal after its cooked? Just discovered your channel and loving it thank you Emmie

[@michelemateus6186]

This is excellent! Thank you for being so transparent.

[@HealthyEmmie]

You're so welcome! 🥰💕

[@cherkhawa]

This is so NEW to me! I thought you must do keto along with IF to lose weight! Now this is Brian opening!

[@lifeWithAarynLynn]

I absolutely love black bean tacos but I absolutely hate corn tortillas lol got to use the flour tortilla, I didn’t see you add any taco seasoning to your beans? I always add taco seasoning. I also add a little bit of jalapeño for a kick and I definitely prefer to have either Spanish rice or white rice in with my beans! Great video.

[@bmbog497]

Loving your hair lately! It looks darker...love it. Another great video.

[@HealthyEmmie]

Thank you!! This is my natural color :)

[@rebeccatyson9952]

Taco! 😃 Emmie, would you do a video explaining what to do for weight maintenance? I am at the very end of my weight loss journey and feel like I don't know how to eat differently to maintain my new weight... I don't want to gain it all back!! 😬 Thanks for all your content!

[@bbqutie17]

That’s the thing…you DON’T eat differently in weight maintenance! That’s why it’s SO important to make this way of eating a lifestyle change. There may be a few things you can add but don’t count on adding back a lot of things otherwise the weight will return.

[@hbu886]

I watched this on playback speed 2x, was laughing so much it’s hilarious. Really enjoy watching your vids Emmie 😂

[@brendagaskin9010]

Emmie I am in transition. I don't think I can eat that much food and still lose weight or maintain a healthy weight; so I tend to under eat when I need to lose weight. I am trying to change my mindset; I know that's where it starts.

[@marshareewilkens6007]

Love tacos! Love your simple way of eating. Makes this way of life so much more doable.

[@HealthyEmmie]

Thank you!❤️😉

[@jenmo807]

These are great ideas but I would find meal #2 too “dry” for me. Any suitable sauces to go with the brussel sprouts?

[@mountainhiker4890]

I SO wish I could find Hannah Yams! No store in our area carries them. You've inspired me to try Brussels, but I may have to pinch my nose, lol! Off topic, I'm loving that wooden ladder for your blankets...can you share where it's from? Loved this video and keeping it simple and easy peasy (at least most of the time)! xo to you and the kitties. TACOS :)

[@peeter33]

Hello. I subscribed yesterday and have already received a new video from you. this is great. tell me please. do you put in the first kind of porridge, ground flax? or whole. because I know and observe for myself that the whole is not digested. Thank you

[@lyndapickhardt188]

Hello Emmie, Love you and your parents. I just purchased and printed out your HEALTHY DAD cookbook. I would purchase all of the cookbooks but...I print out the pdf's for my cookbook bookcase and I only have a black ink cartridge so I ended up with 63 pages of pictures of food that I do not need. What a waste of ink and paper. You could include a printing option of no pictures. Please, you little doll you, include that printing option. I love your videos....I can see you are a wonderful girl and God Bless You!

[@lisaparas3621]

Just discovering your channel and love it! Can I use plany butter with this lifestyle?

[@juliannbrown4383]

Question- Is there a time of day you recommend we stop eating (like after 7pm) if trying to lose weight?

[@ellennoll2839]

Tacos. I love brussel sprouts. These meals are so doable. Thank you. ❤

[@susie-q1630]

What about protein? Other programs are all about protein, etc...just wondering your thoughts. ..

[@newhabitswithtracey]

Emmie can I say I love this style of video- loved the vibe and flow. 💕 plus it takes the pressure off- I like things simple too and am sometimes afraid to share that. Thanks for being “honest” 🤣

[@goodvolks2know372]

TACOS.... I love it, "I'm not a perfect human, my flaxseed is pre-ground - sue me". I'm the same way. I do keep it in my freezer, so help it stay fresh longer. But I've never admitted to other that I'm a pre-ground gal too. haha
